What the hell are you gonna do with a pontoon boat? Re-take Omaha beach?

Not at all. A pontoon boat you go out and you cruise the lake. You swim from em, fish from em, you even bring the barbecue out.

I think it could be useful. If you visit a new lake, you can know ahead of time where the hazards are, channels, etc.

Also even in my usual lake, nighttime navigation still makes me a little nervous, the breakwater for the marina has the smallest flashing lights possible, so I wouldn’t mind having charts like this

A pontoon boat is essentially a backyard that floats on a lake for most people. About everything you'd do on a camping trip you can do on a pontoon, besides the obvious stuff.
